Apple unveils its iPad computer

I am going to stick to my new netbook thank you very much.
 
My dad said he's buying one for him and I when the tax returns come since they are a reasonable price (a lot more reasonable than when I convinced my dad to get me a macbook pro) and I'm mostly going to be using mine for school related things like reading since my school Library has a program where we can download the books onto Itouch's and now Ipad's and read them on there.

"More reasonable than a Macbook Pro" doesn't mean reasonable. Saying something is less expensive than a Macbook Pro is like saying "this soup is less hot than the sun." You can get a middle- or high-end laptop or desktop (possibly even a tablet PC) for less than the price of the higher-tiered iPads, and a reasonable computer for the price of the lower-tiered ones. If you want to take advantage of your school's library program, just keep using your iPod touch; I guarantee it'll be more useful than the waste of money that the iPad will be. Take the cash I just saved you with this hot tip and invest it in... well, anything else, really: another computer, some games, donations to the EFF, a game console; anything works.
 
an iPad would probably help me with my vision difficulties in some regards but i won't get one. I'm too attached to my Kindle.

And honestly, I do get eye strain reading on my computer and the ipad doesn't have the e-ink that the Kindle has. :< sure it's greyscale but the 3G is free. When you start adding all these fancy pancy features, you lose the heart of the product which is why, again, i think the Kindle will outlast its iPad neighboor. The battery in a Kindle lasts longer [muuuch longer if the 3G is off] the Amazon store has better prices AND a better selection AND I can redownload anything I've bought anywhere i am. :>

Show me your iPad can do that >O
 
It has no Adobe Flash support.
















And THAT is why I won't buy it. I ttly have enough money BTW, so don't look at me liek dat.
 
I was actually a little intrigued when I first heard about the rumours of apples new device, I watched the conference and really wasn't convinced. First off correct me if i'm wrong, the Ipad doesn't support flash. I really wonder why apple didn't include this feature, that means a lot of sites are going to have that little blue block appearing. I really just see the iPad as something apple made to compete with the kindle, it does have great features but it lacks so many features.
 
Protip, guys, none of the Apple Handheld Devices support flash. It's a conscious decision they made based on the security vulnerabilities in flash and the fact that as a format (especially flash video) it's on the way out.
 
...I have only one thing to say about this. Ph41l. (phail)

When I say flash, I mean the memory type, 90% of the time. Disregard if this wasn't directed at me.
 
i personally have no interest in Apple products. if i ever have a chance to get into a major career in video and/or photo editing, maybe. but even then i'm only planning on some form of Mac. if you ask me, i think the iTouch/iPad are kind of ugly....with that big black border...blech... :laugh:
 
It doesn't look so attractive visually.
Hopefully it will stand out product-wise. But I have no interest in this.
 
"So this must be the iphone for old people.."

Meh, if nothing else, I suppose it could be used as an ebook for collage students. Don't see much use after that, though, unless you really want to carry it around as backup in case your real iphone runs out of power.
